Step by Step Instructions<\/h2>\n
Step 1<\/h5>\n
Heat the oven to 180c
In a roasting pan, slice an onion into rings & place on the tray. Season the chicken inside & out with salt & pepper and place on the onion. Roast for the allotted time for the size of the chicken.
When cooked, take out the chicken, cover with foil & leave to cool.<\/p>\nStep 2<\/h5>\n
Sift the flour & salt into a bowl.
Cube the cold butter & either rub in with your fingers, use a pastry cutter, or pulse in a food processor. Don’t over
process, just to size of breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n
Don’t over kneed as it will make the pastry tough.<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n
Step 3<\/h5>\n
Then chop in 1 inch pieces. Fry gently in a little butter, till soft not brown.<\/p>\n
butter with the garlic till most of the moisture has evaporated.<\/p>\nStep 4<\/h5>\n
Melt the butter in a small pan, then add the flour & mix thoroughly, then add the milk 1\/3 at a time & whisk to make
sure no lumps form. Don\u2019t add all of the last bit of the milk as you don\u2019t want the sauce too thin.
Keep stirring till it starts to thicken. Add \u00bd the Cr\u00e8me Fraiche, mix. Check the consistency, so it is not too thick or thin.<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n
Step 5<\/h5>\n
Pick the chicken, shred or chop it & put it in a large bowl with the vegetables. Mix thoroughly, add the sauce, mix
again thoroughly.\u00a0 Taste to check the seasoning, adjust if required, add more cr\u00e8me fraiche if needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n
Step 6<\/h5>\n
Divide the pastry into 2\/3 & 1\/3 – as you need more for the base. Cover the 1\/3 with cling film again.
Rollout the base making sure it’s bigger than your pie dish by an inch or so. Don’t stretch the pastry or it will shrink
back.
Gently roll the pastry over your rolling pin to place in the pie dish.<\/p>\n
Scrunch up a large piece of brown greaseproof paper then open it out & place it over your pastry base, cover with rice or lentils or baking beans to hold it down.<\/p>\n
or your fingers. Cut off excess pastry.<\/p>\nStep 7<\/h5>\n
corn flour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
